STATIC DISSIPATOR ADDITIVES

Hydroprocessing reduces the natural conductivity of the fuel.

Massive fuel flow rates combined with highly refined low sulfur fuels can build up electrostatic charges. Slow dissipation as a discharge from an electrically charged fuel to the side of the tank can be one potential hazard, causing electrostatic ignition and potentially explosions.

The ability of a STATIC DISSIPATOR ADDITIVE is measured by the extent it increases the electrical conductivity of middle distillates, thus reducing the risk of electrostatic hazards.
